Br J Dermatol. 1989 May;120(5):695-700. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1989.tb01358.x.

Abstract

Two cases of cutaneous chylous reflux are described. Both patients had many translucent white vesicles from which milk-like fluid wept intermittently. Lymphangiogram revealed dilated, tortuous lymphatic vessels and dermal backflow. Electron microscopic studies showed an abnormal ultrastructure of the dilated lymphatics.
